[Design and Technology] EXAM REVISION

[Jo Roszkowski]

Hi All
I have a couple of questions re exam revision for 12's - 

When drawing a garment design option for Section B - do students have to draw the back as well as the front?

When drawing a 'degree of difficulty process' - one VCAA student sample shows the overlocker with a hand and material - does this show enough of the 'process' involved?

thanks to anyone who knows the answers
Jo Roszkowski

Hi guys
I don't like to be a bearer of more bad news about plastic or make you all depressed about the world but I found this movie to be incredibly informative. 

 You can watch a trailor on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UM73CEvwMY

I paid to watch it on Vimeo and found it really worthwhile, I think it goes for an hour and a half.
 I can't give you the URL for purchasing the DVD as Netspace keeps blocking it today.

Also - its not directly related to a specific outcome for PD&T but is a general interest type of thing .... plus it has the bonus of the beautiful voice of Jeremy Irons. 
 
enjoy - Jacinta O'Leary

 Hey Guys,
  What about Australian farmers who pile up and burn their plastic silage wrappers and plastic hay bands on the sides of country roads. We aren't a 3rd world country, so why haven't we invented a material that is biodegradable?

 Hi Robin.
 
 Good point. I'm also aware that in many "3rd world countries" most plastics are burnt. In India for example every morning early, the "street sweepers" sweep up litter and set fire to it. Other cancer causing activities included the people who made the roads would use old tyers to create fire to burn the asphalt in 44 gallon drums. The country side is strewn with plastic caught up in the acacia scrub. The sooner the big chemical companies find its in their financial interest to develop totally biodegradable plastics or 100% reusable/non-degrading plastics the better eh? As a species we're so smart but so good at trashing the planet and poisoning our kids.
 
 All the best.
 
 Phil
